Business Spotlight:

NeighborWorks Salt Lake; Building Homes, Building Lives
“Creating opportunities through housing, resident leadership, and youth and economic development,”
NeighborWorks Salt Lake (NWSL) has found success in “Rebuilding Neighborhoods… One Block at a
Time.”

NWSL works to create affordable housing through partnerships with businesses and
government, and their “outstanding revitalization efforts” were recognized in
1996 by then U.S. President Bill Clinton.
This private non-profit group was launched in 1977 as Salt Lake Neighborhood
Housing Services in the East Liberty Park area of Salt Lake City and has since
grown to include neighborhoods along the North Temple
corridor. Its main offices are now located at 622 West 500
North, under the leadership of Maria Garciaz for the past two
decades.

Today NWSL has a staff of 15 and employs about 45 youth a
year. “We’re not only doing home improvement loans, we’re
doing multi-family development … [building] major subdivisions,
resident leadership … serving thousands of residents,” Garciaz said.
NWSL also invests in creative and leadership opportunities for youth,
supporting murals and artwork featured throughout the region, including
businesses along North Temple.

“When you do house-by-house, block-by-block you get to know people.
And it’s about bringing people together, identifying their needs and really seeing who you can bring to
the table to address those needs,” Garciaz said. “And the people who come to the table to help make a
difference in the community have been tremendous over our 33 years.”

Business Spotlight

Home of “Killer Mexican Food”
Brings North Temple to Life
It goes without saying, if
you’re looking for great Mexican
food in Salt Lake City, you go to
the Red Iguana. After 40 years
of successful business, being
recognized as Utah’s most
awarded Mexican Restaurant with more than 38 national and local
awards, even City Weekly asks, “Can anyone remember a year
when Red Iguana didn’t win the Best of Utah award for Best
Mexican?”

What may not have been mentioned is that despite the
ongoing lunch-time lines of customers that circle the building at
736 West and continuing rave reviews, Red Iguana is feeling the
pinch of TRAX construction along North Temple. Owners of the famous eatery,
however, are taking the bull by the horn, voicing their optimism for a better
community and taking an active role in ensuring that none of the businesses
along North Temple are forgotten.

“We are a part of this community,” said owner Bill Coker, proudly
displaying the community-developed button that reads, “Shop North Temple, I
Do.” And he’s a man of his word. Coker and his wife Lucy Cardenas, daughter of the original owners,
have been instrumental in the distribution of these buttons. Coker also participates in a local
community advisory committee, which works to bring North Temple businesses together to discuss
construction and strategies to mitigate its impact on the local economy. “I have a business to run,” he
says, although he still invests his valuable time in helping plan a marketing campaign for businesses
affected by the reconstruction of the North Temple viaduct.

If you would like to join Bill Coker’s efforts to reshape the North Temple community, call him at
801-322-1489 or Bill Knowles at 801-580-2626.
